Binati ni Quezon Representative David ‘Jay-jay’ Suarez si House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa pagpupirsige na makalusot sa Mababang Kapulungan ang isinusulong na Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF).
Tiwala si Suarez sa pamumuno ni Romuldez at aniya ang sovereign fund ang isa sa makakakapagpabilis sa ‘economic train’ ng administrasyong-Marcos Jr. Pagbabahagi ng mambabatas dumaan sa masusing pagbusisi at diskusyon sa plenaryo ang naturang panukala sa pagsasabing, “the proposal is fortified with safeguards and safety nets to ensure that fund managers will not be able to dip their hands into the fund’s investments.” “The approval of the bill went through congressional surgery. We made sure that not only is it compliant to local laws but congruent to international standards as well,” dagdag pa nito. Binanggit pa ni Suarez na maging ang mga mambabatas na tutol sa panukala ay naging ‘co-authors’ pa ng pinal na bersyon ng panukala patunay na pinag-aralan ng husto ang bawat probisyon sa panukala. Mahalahaga lamang aniya na maging malinaw sa sambayanan na malaki ang maitutulong ng MIF sa pangkalahatan at hindi ito para lamang sa kapritso ng administrasyon at mga kaalyado. “Our people need more information about the MIF so that they can see that the benefits outweigh the unwarranted fear. This is why I am appealing to all Filipinos to support measure. There are 79 sovereign investment funds from other countries, of which 78 were successful. It is an issue of management and with so many brilliant minds in the Philippines, the Maharlika fund will be successful,”diin ni Suarez.MOST READ
